Gajner Palace was built on the banks of Gajner Lake by Sir Ganga Singhji,
one of the greatest Maharajas of Bikaner, in the early decades of the
twentieth century.
Gajner Palace was used as a hunting resort by the former Maharajas and
visiting British dignitaries during the days of the Raj. During the reign
of Maharaja Ganga Singhji, this palace was used for grand shoots and
lavish entertainment. Christmas season was often celebrated with
prearranged duck and Imperial Sand Grouse shoots. Royalty, both, National
and International, Viceroys and other dignitaries were invited on this
grand occasion.
The red sandstone palace is distinguished for its architectural grandeur
